1. General information Corporate structure and activities These interim condensed consolidated financial statements include financial statements of ForteBank Joint Stock Company (hereinafter, the Bank ) and its subsidiaries (hereinafter, the Group ). The Bank was formed in 1999 under the laws of the Republic of Kazakhstan. On 10 February 2015, the Bank was reregistered as ForteBank JSC. Legal address of the Bank s head office: 8/1, Dostyk str., 010017, Astana, Republic of Kazakhstan. The Bank s activities are regulated by the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan (hereinafter, the NBRK ). The Bank operates under license No. 1.2.29/197/36 for conducting banking and other activities and operations on securities market stipulated by the banking legislation, issued by the NBRK on 27 February 2015. The Group s primary business is related to commercial banking activities, granting of loans and guarantees, accepting deposits, exchanging foreign currencies, dealing with securities, transferring cash payments, as well as providing other banking services. Some debt securities issued by the Bank are listed on the London Stock Exchange, the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the Kazakhstan Stock Exchange (hereinafter, the KASE ). The Bank is a participant of the Kazakhstan Deposit Insurance Fund (the KDIF ). The primary goal of the KDIF is to protect interests of depositors in the event of forcible liquidation of a participant-bank. As at 30 June and 31 December, depositors can receive limited insurance coverage for deposits up to a maximum of KZT 10 million per deposit, depending on the amount of the deposit. As at 30 June and 31 December, the Group includes the following subsidiaries: Name Country of incorporation Principal activities 30 June Ownership, % 31 December ForteLeasing JSC Republic of Kazakhstan Leasing operations 80.6 80.6 OUSA Alliance LLP Republic of Kazakhstan Management of doubtful and bad assets 100.0 100.0 OUSA-F LLP Republic of Kazakhstan Management of doubtful and bad assets 100.0 100.0 Alliance Finance LLC Russian Federation Raising funds in capital markets 100.0 100.0 OUSA Alliance LLP and OUSA-F LLP were registered on 7 February 2013 and 19 August 2015, respectively, for the purpose of managing doubtful and bad assets of the Bank. On 26 May, the Bank s Board of Directors made a decision on voluntary liquidation of Alliance Finance LLC subsidiary. Shareholders As at 30 June, Mr. Utemuratov B.Zh. owns 88.19% of the outstanding common shares of the Bank and is an ultimate controlling shareholder of the Group (as at 31 December : 87.80%). The rest of the shares are held by other shareholders, none of which owns more than 5% of the shares. 2. Basis of preparation General The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group s annual consolidated financial statements as at 31 December. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in millions of Kazakhstan tenge ( tenge or KZT ), unless otherwise is stated. As at 30 June, the official exchange rate was KZT 322.27 to USD 1 (as at 31 December : KZT 333.29 to USD 1). 6

2. Basis of preparation (continued) Functional and presentation currency of consolidated financial statements The functional currency of the Bank and the majority of its subsidiaries is tenge as, being the national currency of the Republic of Kazakhstan, it reflects the economic substance of the majority of the Group s transactions and circumstances relevant to them affecting its activities. The Kazakhstan tenge is also the presentation currency for the purposes of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Financial information of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements is rounded to the nearest million. Changes in accounting policies The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December, except for the adoption of new Standards as at 1 January, noted below. The Group has not early adopted standards, interpretations or amendments that have been issued but are not yet effective. Although these new standards and amendments apply for the first time in, they do not have a material effect on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group. The nature and the impact of each new standard or amendment are described below: Amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows: Disclosure Initiative The amendments require entities to provide disclosures about changes in their liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes (such as foreign exchange gains or losses). On initial application of the amendment, entities are not required to provide comparative information for preceding periods. The Group is not required to provide additional disclosures in its condensed interim consolidated financial statements, but will disclose additional information in its annual consolidated financial statements for the year ending 31 December. Amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes: Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrecognised Losses The amendments clarify that an entity needs to consider whether tax law restricts the sources of taxable profits against which it may make deductions on the reversal of that deductible temporary difference. Furthermore, the amendments provide guidance on how an entity should determine future taxable profits and explain the circumstances in which taxable profit may include the recovery of some assets for more than their carrying amount. Entities are required to apply the amendments retrospectively. However, on initial application of the amendments, the change in the opening equity of the earliest comparative period may be recognised in opening retained earnings (or in another component of equity, as appropriate), without allocating the change between opening retained earnings and other components of equity. Entities applying this relief must disclose that fact. The Group applied the amendments retrospectively. However, their application has no effect on the Group s financial position and performance. Annual improvements cycle 2014- Amendments to IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities: clarification of the scope of disclosure requirements in IFRS 12 The amendments clarify that the disclosure requirements in IFRS 12, other than those in paragraphs B10-B16, apply to an entity s interest in a subsidiary, a joint venture or an associate (or a portion of its interest in a joint venture or an associate) that is classified (or included in a disposal group that is classified) as held for sale. The Group has adopted the amendments retrospectively. The amendments have no effect on the Group s financial statements. 7

3. Significant accounting judgements and estimates Estimation uncertainty The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Fair value of financial instruments Where the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using a variety of valuation techniques that include the use of mathematical models. The input to these models is taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgement is required in establishing fair values. Collateral assessment The Bank management performs monitoring of collateral on a regular basis. The management of the Bank uses experienced judgements or an independent assessment in order to adjust the cost of collateral considering the current market conditions. Allowance for impairment of loans and receivables The Group regularly reviews its loans and receivables to assess impairment. The Group uses its experienced judgement to estimate the amount of any impairment loss in cases where a borrower is in financial difficulties and there are few available sources of historical data relating to similar borrowers. Similarly, the Group estimates changes in future cash flows based on the observable data indicating that there has been an adverse change in the payment status of borrowers in a group, or national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on assets in the group. Management uses estimates based on historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics and objective evidence of impairment similar to those in the group of loans and receivables. The Group uses its subjective judgement to adjust observable data for a group of loans or receivables to reflect current circumstances. Taxation The Republic of Kazakhstan currently has a single Tax Code that regulates main taxation matters. The existing taxes include value added tax, corporate income tax, social and other taxes. Implementing regulations are often unclear or nonexistent and insignificant amount of precedents has been established. Often, differing opinions regarding legal interpretation exist both among and within government ministries and organisations; thus creating uncertainties and areas of conflict. Tax declarations, together with other legal compliance areas (as examples, customs and currency control matters) are subject to review and investigation by a number of authorities, which are enabled by law to impose severe fines, penalties and interest charges. These facts create tax risks in Kazakhstan substantially more significant than typically found in countries with more developed tax systems. The management believes that the Group s tax position as at 30 June and 31 December was in compliance with tax laws of the Republic of Kazakhstan regulating its activities. However, the risk remains that relevant authorities could take differing positions with regard to interpretive tax issues. 8

15. Loans to customers (continued) Quality of individually significant corporate loans (continued) A loan is impaired as a result of one or several events occurred after the initial recognition of a loan and having an impact on the estimated future cash flows on the loan that can be reliably estimated. Loans without individual signs of impairment do not have objective evidence of impairment that can be directly attributed to them. The Group estimates the amount of allowance for impairment of individually significant corporate loans based on an analysis of the future cash flows for loans with individual signs of impairments and based on its past loss experience for portfolios of loans for which no individual indications of impairment has been identified. Analysis of movements in allowance for impairment Movements in the allowance for impairment of individually significant corporate loans for three-month periods and are as follows: For the three months As at 1 April (24,909) (24,520) Net reversal/(charge) 2,005 (688) Net (recoveries)/write-offs (1,421) 1,382 Effect from changes in exchange rates (599) 373 As at 30 June (24,924) (23,453) Movements in the allowance for impairment of individually significant corporate loans for the six-month periods ended 30 June and are as follows: For the six months As at 1 January (24,870) (26,898) Net reversal/(charge) 2,259 (802) Net (recoveries)/write-offs (2,588) 4,144 Effect from changes in exchange rates 275 103 As at 30 June (24,924) (23,453) 16

15. Loans to customers (continued) Quality of individually insignificant corporate loans and loans to individuals (continued) The Group estimates loan impairment based on its past loss experience on each type of a loan. Significant assumptions used by the management in determining the amount of allowance for impairment of individually insignificant corporate loans, loans issued to individuals, and individually significant corporate loans without individual signs of impairment include: Loss migration rates are constant and can be estimated based on a 12 month loss migration pattern; Restructured loans have a probation period of 6 months; during this period restructured loans are considered as overdue loans. If during the trial term the loan servicing is performed in accordance with the restructured terms, it is treated as recovered ; Delay in proceeds from sale of pledge is 12 months for movable property and 24 months for immovable property. Analysis of movements in allowance for impairment Movements in the loan impairment allowance by classes of corporate loans that are not individually significant and loans to individuals for three-month period are as follows: Individually insignificant corporate loans Mortgage loans Consumer loans Car loans Credit cards Other loans secured by collateral As at 1 April (6,935) (8,021) (4,707) (97) (108) (12,473) (32,341) Net (charge)/reversal (563) 829 140 (22) (1) (346) 37 Net write-offs/ (recoveries) 548 (1,265) (225) (23) (3) (809) (1,777) Effect from changes in exchange rates (71) (51) (1) (3) 10 (116) As at 30 June (7,021) (8,508) (4,792) (143) (115) (13,618) (34,197) Movements in the loan impairment allowance by classes of corporate loans that are not individually significant and loans to individuals for six-month period are as follows: Individually insignificant corporate loans Mortgage loans Consumer loans Car loans Credit cards Other loans secured by collateral As at 1 January (6,962) (7,803) (3,754) (56) (99) (12,390) (31,064) Net (charge)/reversal (906) 1,450 (539) (44) 6 770 737 Net write-offs/ (recoveries) 686 (2,236) (499) (47) (21) (2,164) (4,281) Effect from changes in exchange rates 161 81 4 (1) 166 411 As at 30 June (7,021) (8,508) (4,792) (143) (115) (13,618) (34,197) Movements in the loan impairment allowance by classes of corporate loans that are not individually significant and loans to individuals for three-month period are as follows: Individually insignificant corporate loans Mortgage loans Consumer loans Car loans Credit cards Other loans secured by collateral As at 1 April (4,330) (5,761) (2,409) (27) (179) (11,772) (24,478) Net reversal/(charge) (1,216) 901 (1,426) 8 (546) 686 (1,593) Net (recoveries)/ write-offs 796 (1,671) 831 (9) 105 460 512 Effect from changes in exchange rates 47 25 1 58 131 As at 30 June (4,703) (6,506) (3,004) (28) (619) (10,568) (25,428) Total Total Total 20

15. Loans to customers (continued) Quality of individually insignificant corporate loans and loans to individuals (continued) Analysis of movements in allowance for impairment (continued) Movements in the loan impairment allowance by classes of corporate loans that are not individually significant and loans to individuals for six-month period are as follows: Individually insignificant corporate loans Mortgage loans Consumer loans Car loans Credit cards Other loans secured by collateral As at 1 January (5,040) (5,378) (3,480) (241) (803) (9,043) (23,985) Net reversal/(charge) 106 868 (3,191) 7 86 (1,771) (3,895) Net (recoveries)/ write-offs 216 (2,004) 3,667 206 98 228 2,411 Effect from changes in exchange rates 15 8 18 41 As at 30 June (4,703) (6,506) (3,004) (28) (619) (10,568) (25,428) Total Analysis of collateral and other enhancements Individually significant corporate loans are subject to assessment and impairment testing on an individual basis. The creditworthiness of a corporate customer is generally the main indicator of the issued credit quality. However, collateral represents additional guarantees, and the Group generally asks corporate borrowers for its provision. Guarantees and suretyship from individuals such as shareholders of borrowers represented by small and medium-sized businesses are not taken into account in assessing the impairment. Recoverability of neither past due nor individually impaired loans mainly depends on creditworthiness of the borrower rather than on collateral. For certain mortgage loans and other loans to individuals the Group updates the estimated values of collateral obtained at inception of the loan to the current values considering the approximate changes in property values. The Group may also carry out a specific individual valuation of collateral at each reporting date where there are indications of impairment. As at 30 June, loans net of allowance for impairment overdue over 90 days amount to KZT 130,643 million (31 December : KZT 137,556 million). Total fair value of collateral securing such loans, limited to the amount of the value of the respective loans before allowance for impairment, was equal to KZT 139,121 million (31 December : KZT 146,361 million). Repossessed collateral During six-month period, the Group repossessed collateral on loans to customers, represented by real estate, with a carrying amount totalling to KZT 10,745 million (six-month period : KZT 9,652 million). The Group s policy assumes sale of these assets as soon as it is practicable. 21
